Curriculum developers can provide information useful to the review and selection of a curriculum. Should curriculum developers to be included as members of the curriculum review committee?
No. It is often helpful to talk with the curriculum developers in order to thoroughly complete Chapter 2, General Curriculum Information. You might also want to invite them to showcase their curricular materials (e.g., scope and sequence, charts showing alignment with the National Health Education Standards) before you begin your review. However, curriculum developers should not be included in the analysis or scoring process, nor should they be allowed to unduly influence review committee members analyses. Most developers of commercially-packaged curriculum have a primary interest in marketing their products.
